Trai Turner remains in the concussion protocol, missing the start of another week of practice. Also, defensive linemen Julius Peppers and Mario Addison have missed the first two days. Two wide receivers have also sat out, so it’ll be worth tracking their statuses, but likely this is just precautionary.

At least it’s good to see Shaq Thompson back on the practice field after missing the last two weeks.
